the work as the charger snorts for the
battle
Perhaps ten thousand Of our American
youth within the past two weeks have lett
their school days behind them, and are
now ready to meet the world, II not on
their terms, on terms of its own The
professions are to be invaded anew the
avenues of intellectual industry will be
crowded for the next six months with the
aspirants for recognition, if not for fame.
The entire natien will come into fresh
contact, through these graduates, with the
best life of the schools. IL is chiefly
through them that the college touches the
world. 1t is right that they should have q
kind reception, in order that the state and
the church may not be defrauded OF the
contribution which is needed for the con-
tipual enlargement of these institutions.
It is the duty of those who are in the heat
of the day to see that this young life shall
not be rebuffed. 1t is the new blood that
society needs in order to gain freshened
life. The sooner the college graduates can
find the point of actual start in the world,
the better it will be for them and for the
public. There is, indeed, no essential
antagonism between those in the struggle
anu those entering into it. The same out
look exists for Us all, and it is still happily
the rule in this country that we have no
room for men who call themselves gentle
men and spend their time in useless, or
worse than useless, living. The call is for
work, and the graduates who are most
willing to give their strength to the things
to be done in the world, as they gave it to
their studies in college, are the men most
likely to find room for themselves in the
community and make themselves a force
in society.

The Graduates Outlook.

Is there any time when a young man
fees happier or more supremely useless
than when he marches from the university
with his parchment diploma in hand and
begins to take a survey of the world? He
is glad to have completed his education 80
far as school and college can help him, but
there is a feeling of unfitness for contact
with real life which is more oppressive at
this time than perhaps at any other period
ofone's existence. It is the natural shrink
ing of finely trained mind from the prac-
teal aspect of things, but, like the shiyer
of the swimmer, as he stands on the bank
Of the stream gathering himself up for the
plunge, il is only for a moment The aim
of training in our institutions is not to
educate men to be cynics or epicureans,
but to give them the quickened pulse for
the life that now is and to prepare them
To deal with this life in large way. There
has been both an enlargement OF view in
American education, and an increase in
the efficiency of instruction. The colleges
have widened their courses of study, and
the undergraduates have q better outlook
upon the world. II is believed that the
graduates of to-day, however they may
shrink from actual experience in making
living or from graphing with the great
material forces on which men have to i'm
press themselves in order to gain the
higher leverage, are more earnest than the
graduates of the past have been for the
sctual fray. All the circumstances OF
American life tend to make them eager to
be in the field, and they press forward for

THE GRAFTON PEOPLE AND THE
ssISTEI

THE GRAFTON PEOPLE AND THE
"ISTELLIGENCER."
Our neighbOr, the LlteRigsReeT, manages
to get on the wrong side of good many
things, but its penchant for keeping there
is equal to its capacity for getting there.
The going to co. business was fearful
illustration Of both these qualities. Then
came its reunion blunder. 1t let q lying
dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette about the Invitation Committee,
and which insulted every Democrat in the
city, 90 uncontradicted, and by its silence
gave the dispatch quasi support; it has not
lost an opportunity TO abuse and misrepre-
the President of the whole people on every
occasion, no matter how slight
so that it offered an opportunity for parti-
san utilization. Thus while it was beseech-
ing financial help with one hand from all
Democrats, rs we'll rs Republicans, for the
reunion, it was with the other, by its ex-
treme partisan filings, repelling contribu-
tions from Democratic citizeus The black
eye it gave our coming meeting is yet Wis
ible.
And now it attempts TO make it appear
that the citizens of Wheeling approve of
Chief CUMMINGS order to withhold the
aid asked by Grafton in the hour OF its ter
rible peril. The REGISTER speaks for nine
tenths of Wheeling's pOpulace when it
says that they resent the attempt OF the Ia
teiiigsReer to put them into hole.
The mistake of the Chief was Of the head
and not of the heart we feel confident And
We believe if the Fire Board had the matter
to do over again in the light of what they
now know, section of the Wheeling Fire
Department would have been promptly
sent to the stricken city. The REGISTERS
reporters hayepretty thoroughly canvassed
the city, and the general expression is re-
greet, that some effort WAS not promptly
made to render assistance, while the sym
patty for the people of Grafton in their
terrible loss is deep, and heartfelt The
REGISTER has no wish 10 dwell upon
this matter, but our citizens must not be
placed in false position by the perversity
of our esteemed neighbor the IateLigeReer.

time to get firmly seated. II howled this
while the departments were yet full of Re
publican clerks, whom il is easy to mag
Inc in the act of smiling sardonieally at
being intrusted with the duty of aseer-
tanning If the Republicans had left it all
straight. And the gleeful shout grew
stronger Is it became evident that the new
Democratic administration intended to
stand by its Civil Service Reform pledges
and keep public thieves at the public crib,
because their dishonesty was not stamped
on their brows like the brand of Cain.
Because they showed no cause for
dismissal they were to be let alone. as

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: "The Grand Army
posts throughout the country have not
abandoned all hope ofeventually securing
the passage of dependent pension law.
A bill has been carefully drawn, which
efectually shuts out pension agents from
receiving directly or indirectly one penny
of the amount provided for in the pro-
posed bill. Copies Of the bil', with petit
tions for signatures, are being quietly cir
culated among the Grand Army posts all
over the country, and thousands of sigma
lures have already been obtained. A
prominent official, who is a member of
the Grand Army, exhibited the bill and
and petition to a few friends not long
since, and the general impression was that
if the measure could receive the sanction
Of Congress as drawn it would probably
meet all the objections urged against
somewhat similar bill which the Presi-
dent vetoed. The same gentleman, in
discussing pension matters, remarked
that the pension laws and the regulations
of the pension Office are so plain and
simple that every legitimate pensioner
should be able to have his or her claim
disposed of without the assistance of an
attorney"

Gen. Clinton B. Fisk is one of the best
known Prohibitionists of the country and
has headed his party tickc, in New Jer-

every respect and has Injured more to
the prosperity of the country than would
have been the case with Mr.. Blaine in the
White House. Natural the Prohibition
lists take great deal OF credit to themselves
for defeating Blaine, and with The social
ed Mugwumps they would take pride
in repeating the experiment oil 1854. The
Prohibitionist and Labor party will doubt
less unite on q candidate and 60 into the
next presidential canvass with renewed
confidence, but, with all this against him.
I repeat that no candidate can beat the
incumbent OF the White House, who has
taken such firm hold upon The affections
of the people tha, they will have none
other than himself for their chief magis-
trate. Then, too, Mrs. Cleveland is going
to be of incalculable benefit to her hus-
band, for she is every here regarded as
typical American woman. and one whom
the country should delight to keep in
the position of the frs, lady OF the land"

The Tobacco Market

The transactions in Maryland tobacco
do not yet show that decided advance in
values which is naturally expected to fol-
low the heavy advance of Westsrn tobac-
cos. The Suns market reports states that
there is better demand and improve
ment in prices in Maryland tobacco, in
sympathy with the advance in Western
tobacco: but the figures quoted do not
show any very material advalee upon for
mer figures. A decided improvement in
the market for the Maryland product must
inevitably take place in sympathy with
the general advance; but the increase OF
values in Maryland leaf may he slow and
steady. The best thing for Maryland pro-
ducers, whose tobacco is going to market
to do is to instruct their agents to hold
it for further improvement. This is a
safe course, for there is hardly any posi-.
bility of prices getting any lower, while
every indication points to decided ad
vanca
